My New Gateway isn't recognizing the cd/dvd drive :(

\015 Hi,I have a Brand New Gateway t-6330u Notebook with Vista 32 bit and I loaded a few programs onto my new computer and then all of a sudden it didn't recognize the dvd/cd-rom drive anymore. I went to the control panel then to the device manager and under the dvd/cd-rom drives it has a yellow triangle exclamation point with Optiarc DVD RW AD-7563A ATA Device. I click it and it says- this device cannot start (code 10). It says to check for solutions, but there isn't any. I click on the driver tab and update driver doesn't work, disable and abling the device doesn't work. I tried uninstall the driver, but then it eliminated it all together, which was scary. So I left the drive open, restarted the computer and it loaded itself back on, but with the same error code 10. Please help!! I really need this drive to work!! This is my 3rd computer this year, I'm just having no luck :(Thank you for your help and God bless,Shelly\015

Hi,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".

To your concern, two possible ways to correct:\015\012

\015\012

download and merge cdgon.reg and EditReg from here. It is a zipped file, extract and read instruction in the READ ME FIRST.txt; or

\015\012

manually edit the registry. Open "Regedit", go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Class\\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and delete the entries "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters"; Exit and reboot.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
